tities. Interspersing thin irregular veins and stripes of a red 

 quartziferous and feldspathic rock may possibly be connected 

 with more recent granite injections. 



The other series of rocks is composed of true granites, 

 which were not observed by me with any degree of certainty 

 on the east coast, and even here they occur only in small 

 quantities. That they are really granites, however, can be seen 

 partly by the manner in which they often intersect like true 

 dikes the stratification of the gneiss, partly by the fact that 

 they sometimes contain sharpedged inclusions or fragments of 

 basic rocks. 



Another rock from the same locality shows microscopically a 

 fairly gneiss-like appearance, the mineral grains having through 

 secondary growths assumed an irregular, lobated limitation, 

 while large plagioclase individuals have kept their idiomorphic 

 form. The rock is somewhat pressed and disintegrated and 

 shows a number of curious intergrowths of quartz and felspar- 

 whose nature — if they are to be considered as micro-peg- 

 matite or as myrmekite — I could not determine. 



To this series belong also some rocks, that attracted my 

 attention owing to their almost "mealy" appearance, which I 

 attributed to chemical weathering. Under the microscope it 

 can be seen that they are very strongly crushed, in reality it 

 is possible that a part of the rock-meal that penetrates it is 

 directly due to mechanical crushing. Still, it is more probable 

 that ordinary felspar weathering, combined with the crushing 

 of the rock, may here have gone rather far. In any case, the 

 rocks deserve a more detailed examination. 



A block of a coarse sandstone conglomerate, collected by 

 Kruuse in this district, seems, according to information re- 

 ceived, to indicate that here too more recent sedimentary rocks 

 occur in place, possibly corresponding to those described below 

 from the innermost part of Hurry Inlet.
